I will definitely do that. I'll do it here and in my "Garbage Rocker Panels" thread. If I can save someone the headache I've gone through, it will be worth it.

I've read that the ones from Key Parts "fit the best" as well. I will settle for "fit just better than half-a$$ed" at this point.

You might look him up and give him a call to see what he thinks about the rockers he uses. I believe he uses either AMD or Key Parts. http://www.nsanehotrodz.com/
I will give him a shout to see what he says. I'm far from a professional fabricator/bodyman, but still want something that doesn't have to completely modified to fit "OK".

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments everyone! It helps a cat to keep from slipping back down the rabbit hole of dead projects!
